Peeing Frequently

by But who?
So I had a surgery last Tuesday (23rd) and since then I've been urinating quite a lot. First few days made sense because of the IV and fluids to replace the fasting but it continued. I also was worried that I might be pregnant but I took a test last Wednesday and it was negative. I have been spotting for 4 days then inactive pills came and I started my period straight away.
But I dont know what is causing this frequent urination as I do not feel pain when I pee and my pee is not red or of an abnormal colour.
Im seeing a doctor on the 2nd but I still am very anxious that I could be pregnant even though I am on my period.

° I know this sounds dumb because period = not pregnant but my mind still goes there because of how frequently im peeing which is every 30-40 mins.°

More or less
Am I pregnant? Am i just an anxious mess?
What could be causing this urge to pee?

The best people to ask about your frequent urination are your healthcare professionals who are aware of your recent health situation and surgery. They're the people who have the right medical knowledge and your own health history, and they'd be able to tell you whether this frequent urination is something they'd expect or not, in the light of your current health and surgery. We're not medical professionals and we don't know the details of your health or surgery, so this isn't something we can tell you.

Did your doctors tell you who to contact if you had any questions or concerns after your surgery?

Per the pregnancy-concern part of your question:
We will not answer ANY questions about pregnancy fear or anxiety in our direct services from users who are not pregnant or who are not or have not otherwise been directly involved with an actual pregnancy.

Please do not post this kind of question. If you are seeing this text, and your thread is locked, it is because you have posted this kind of question.

We CAN and WILL talk about things like:
• choosing and using a method or methods of contraception for any future sexual activity
• creating your own sexual limits and boundaries based on your needs and/or presenting them to any partners
• making sexual choices that suit your own needs, abilities and limitations, including your own readiness for certain possible risks
• help locating or using emergency contraception if and when you have had a pregnancy risk
• discussing options with a real, existing pregnancy, and help finding and accessing those options, such as abortion services and pre-natal care, or discussing feelings or concerns about a past pregnancy
• help with anxiety like locating mental health services, sound self-help or asking for support from friends or family
